"A THREE-TIME WINNER"
Has Hanlan Lost His Gripe-Philosoph
iCHl TrHining Dema nded.

The defeat of ''Ned' Hanlan by Teemer
at Toronto in August indicates the lend OF
the glory" of the doughty champion.
He has sustained his record with admirable
pluck and success, but the tremendous strain
Of years of training must certainly some day
find its limit.
Apropos of this we recall the following i'll
ter. sting Renaissance of aquatic annals:
On fine, bright day in August, 1871, an
excited multitude of Is, 600 to 20 900 persons
lined the shores of the beautiful Kenebecassis,
near St John, n. B.. attracted by a four
cared race between the famous Paris crew of
that city and a picked English crew for
$4,000 and tie championship of the world.
Wallace Ross, the present renowned oars
man, pulled stroke for the Blue Nose crew,
and Jim Renforth champion sculler and
swimmer of England and of the world, was
stroke in the English shell.
Excitement was at fever heat.
But three hundred yards of the course had
been covered when the Eng!ishmen noticed
that the rivals were creeping away.
Give US a dozen, jim" said the veteran
Harry Kelly, ex-champion of England, who
was pulling No. oar.
81 can't boys, I'm DONE" said Renforth,
and with these words he fell forward, an in
animate heap in the boat.
He has been poisoned by book makers"
was the cry, and belief
Everything that science and skill could
suggest for his restoration was tried; but
after terrible struggles of agony, the strong
man, the flower of the athletes and pride of
his countrymen, p ;ssed away
The stomach was analysed but no sign or
trace of poison could be found therein,
though gen raj examination showed a very
strange condition of the blood and the life
giving and health preserving organs caused
by years of unwise training. While tie mus
cular development was perfect the h art and
kidneys were badly congested.
The whole system was, therefore, in just
that state when the most simple departure
from ordinary living and eXertion was OF
momentous Consequence. His wonderful
strength only made his dying paroxysms more
dreadful and the fatality more certain.
Hanlan is now in Australia. Beach, cham
pion of that country, is powerful fellow,
who probably understands the liability OF
athletes to death from entertaining, the
effect thereof icing very serious on the
heart, blood and kidneys, as shown by poor
RenforthS sudden death.
Within the past three years he has taken
particular care of himself, and when tram
ing, always reinforces the Hi lneys and pre-
vents blood congestion in them and the con-
sequent ill-effect on the heart by using War
ner's safe cure, the sportsman's universal
favorite, and says he sis astonished at tie
great benefit
Harry Wyatt, the celebrated English
trainer Of athletes who continues himself to
be one of the tinestof specimens of manhood
and one of the most successful of trainers,
writes over his own signature to the English
Sporting Life, Septe nber 9TH, saying: 81
consider Warmers safe cure invaluable for
all training purposes and outdoor exercise.
| have been in the habit of using it for long
time. l am satisfied that it pullel me
through when nothing else would, and it is
alwaysa three-time winneri"
Beach's and Wyatt's method of training is
sound and should be followed by all.
